You and your manager... so only you to manage... no one else to do the work? Just making an assumption that D&C is gonna become a bit of a problem. Alarm bells gotta start ringing when you are the only contractor left in an enduring team.Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostWhy is that then? I imagine you are making your usual assumptions. All the work I am doing is project work rather than BAU.... They are bringing perms in to do the other stuff.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!

A real contractor would put their rate upOriginally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostFunny place I am at:
6 months ago there was a team of 4 just before I joined
- 2 weeks before I joined the main techie guy left.
- 1 week after I joined another guy left (happened to be a waste of space anyway)
- today the 3rd and final guy got a job offer.
That means it's just me and the manager left!
Not sure of this is good or bad. Ah well just invoice and carry on."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

As it turns out this is the most ir35 compliant contract I have worked. Manager does not manage me at all. I am dealing full time with business and end users.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostYou and your manager... so only you to manage... no one else to do the work?

Just because I am working in this dept does not mean I fit into the team structure. My contract is ultra compliant which means they have not even questioned the hours I work or where I work from.
I am purely here to deliver consultancy and services and am seen as an external resource.
All in all shove it NLUK!Comment
